Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 9th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $152 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $156 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $155 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $157.72 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $165 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at sits $162.

Failure to move through the $152 pivot would bring the first major support level at $145 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$140 levels. The second major support level at $141 should limit the downside.
